About primitive & backcountry camping in Montana
Primitive sites have no hookups and often no water, just a cleared spot, a fire ring, and quiet. They are the closest thing to dispersed camping with a designated site, and they suit small rigs, vans, and tents best.
See every listing in the state on the Montana RV parks page, or browse primitive campgrounds across the whole country.
